9 questions
Directions: Read and answer each of the questions below to show your science mastery.
2

Are these two liquids made from the same molecules? Why or why not? (2 pts)

A. Yes. Both of the substances are liquid, so they must be made up of the same molecules
B. Yes. Both of the substances have a clear color, so they must be made up of the same molecules
C. No. Substance A is made of atoms and Substance B is made of molecules
D. No. The two substances have different properties, so they must be made of different molecules

Fabian is doing an experiment to see if the ink in a black marker is a mixture or a substance. Fabian draws a dot with the marker on a paper and records what it looks like in his notebook. Then he places the left side of the paper in water. The water moves across the dot on the paper and Fabian records what happens to the dot.

2

Which model best represents the particles (molecules) in the water? (2 pts)

2

Which of these molecules is moving the fastest? (2 pts)

A. The molecules in the water used in the experiment
B. The molecules in the air around the experiment
C. The molecules in the paper used in the experiment
D. The molecules in the ink used in the experiment


Claim: Short answer
  • Identify whether the marker ink is a substance or mixture
Evidence: Use evidence from the model (picture) to support your answer.
  • Describe what you see in the picture.
Reasoning: Explain your claim with details.
  • Explain why the marker ink is a substance or mixture.
4

Is the marker ink a mixture or a substance? Explain how you know. (4 pts)

Claim: The marker ink is a ______________

Evidence: In the model, it shows ____________

Reasoning: This means the marker ink is a ___________________ because __________________

Type your paragraph (at least 3 sentences!) below.

2

Which statement best explains what happened to the ink? (2 pts)


A. The water made the ink change color to red and blue
B. The water made the ink molecules stretch and get bigger
C. The water moved the blue ink molecules farther up the paper than the red ink molecules
D. The water turned the ink from a substance into a mixture.

2

Fabian created 3 different models of the molecules in the marker ink before the experiment. Which model is the most accurate (correct)? (2 pts)



Claim: Short answer
  • Describe what property caused the dyes to separate into different colors.
Evidence: Use evidence from the model (picture) to support your answer.
  • Describe what you see in the picture.
Reasoning: Explain your claim with details.
  • Explain how the marker ink separated by the property.
  • Explain why the red ink is on that position of the paper.
  • Explain why the blue ink is on that position of the paper.
6

Why did the marker ink separate into different colors? (6 pts)

Claim: The marker ink separated because ____________

Evidence: In the model, it shows ____________

Reasoning: This means ____________

Type your paragraph (at least 3 sentences!) below.
